How can I fix iphoto 08 so it will edit photos with Snow Leopard?

Ever since I upgraded to SL, my iphoto 08 (ver 7.1.5) won't edit photos anymore. I just get the beach ball of death if I try to edit in full screen. I have sent two feedback msgs to Apple but have not received any sort of "fix." Where can I find this info? I have looked and read, and hoped....... HELP! Thanks so much!

Bak to the main Library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • How can I get an HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?

    Is there a way to get our HP Deskjet 882C to work with Snow Leopard?  This printer is a workhorse, and even though it is so old, our budget and common sense say not to get rid of it.

    Install the HPIJS package. This is an open source set of drivers for older printers.  HP dropped support for a whole lot of printers when Snow Leopard was developed.  These drivers fill the gap.
    You will need to install three components - Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and the hpijs package.  They are all on the HPIJS web page.  Once installed, restart your Mac, connect your printer.  You will probably need to go into System Preferences > Print & Fax to select the printer and set it as your default printer.  After that it works great.  And it also works on Lion. 

  • How can I fix IPhoto when it will not retrieve any photos?

    My harddrive was full so I started deleting photos from IPhoto. The appliction then froze and wanted to quit. I said no then used the empty trash from IPhoto to remove the photos. But when I closed IPhoto then restarted later I could not pull up any photos and it does not respond. I think something is missing that it is looking for. How can I get it back in sync?
    PowerBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Applications need a certain amount of free disc space to function properly. When iPhoto crashed it damaged its database. You'll have to have enough free disc space to get it back up and running.
    Try a database rebuild: hold down the Option and Command keys while launching iPhoto and see if it will give you the rebuild dialog box. If so, check the first 3 items and see if it can repair itself.
    If this doesn't work, you'll have to manually rebuild your library. You'll have your photos, but albums, keywords, etc. will be lost. Post back if you need further instructions.

  • How can I replace the out of the box photos with my own when music is playing?

    How can I replace the out of the box photos with my own when music is playing?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select any photos you want to share with the Apple TV using the iTunes advanced menu (using iPhoto is the better option but a folder will work). Once all the photos you want are shared, go to settings > screensaver on the Apple TV and choose which of those shared photos you want to use with your screensaver.

  • Can I use boot camp or other virtualization software with Snow Leopard Server?

    Can I use boot camp or other virtualization software with Snow Leopard Server?

    Boot Camp is not virtualization; it boots Windows natively on the Mac hardware. So Boot Camp would be irrelevant to running Snow Leopard Server. Parallels and VMWare Fusion both have at least "experimental" support for running Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine on Mac OS X, though I don't know how robust it is as of this time. You might ask for opinions on the Parallels or VMWare forums.

  • How can I get iPhoto to see the edited iPhone 4s photo?

    I have a new iPhone 4s.  I take a picture. I edit it and save it to the iPhone.  Then, I sync my phone with my Mac, open iPhoto.  Only the original photos appear, not the one I edited and saved.  Yet, if I e-mail the photo to myself, I can see the edited version.  So, how do I get iPhoto to see the edited version.

    8 MP is the resolution of the camera sensor.  Images are compressed when stored so quite a bit smaller.  The compression ratio depends on the level of detail in the image.

  • How can I get iPhoto to print date on photo?

    is it possible to get iphoto to print the date on a photo?

    No.
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • IPhoto 8.1 breaks Entourage 2008 with Snow Leopard

    The new iPhoto 8.1 update breaks the email functionality to Entourage 2008, if you're using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    iPhoto 8.1 can no longer successfully email photos to Entourage 2008. It worked just fine with iPhoto 8.0.4, but no longer works with iPhoto 8.1. This is a SNOW LEOPARD PROBLEM... it works just fine under LEOPARD.
    The steps to reproduce this problem are as follows:
    1. Change iPhoto's preferences to use Entourage as your email client.
    2. Choose a photo.
    3. Click on the "Email" button.
    You will get an error message from the Finder that states "Microsoft Entourage got an error. Can't get content of window ' '". So you are not able to email a photo through Entourage this way anymore. You have to do it manually.
    This is a SNOW LEOPARD BUG.
    Ideas on how to fix this?

    Sorry, clarification on this bug:
    THIS BUG HAPPENS IF YOU UNCHECK THE "Titles" checkbox that appears in iPhoto after you click on the email button.
    This actually happened in iPhoto 8.0.4 as well.
    So THAT'S the bug -- if you UNCHECK THE "titles" checkbox, the email doesn't send.
    Sorry for the confusion here!

  • IPhoto - Video playing doesn't work with Snow Leopard.

    Under Leopard, I use to be able to download photos and small video content from my camera straight into iPhoto. If I wanted to play a video in iPhoto, I just use to double click and Quicktime would open and play the video. Now, with Snow Leopard, nothing happens when I do this. Am I doing something stupid or is this another bug?
    Thanks.

    For anybody who stumbles across this thread from Google:
    I had the same issue using iPhoto '08 after upgrading to 10.6. I found a CNet article that describes the fix, which is basically that we have to re-install Quicktime 7 for use with '08 from the "Optional Installs" on the Snow Leopard disc, so you will end up with both Quicktime 10 and Quicktime 7 on your computer.
    The instructions are here:

  • Mac Pro will not boot with Snow Leopard - need help!

    I have had a lot of issues with Snow Leopard since I upgraded from 10.5.8. Most of my problems started after installing Office 2007. I finally wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything. No problems until last week. Start up was taking longer and had to reboot a couple of times because of grey screen. So I would just put computer to sleep. Yesterday the computer was frozen on screen saver with scrambled rows of pixels on screen two and the main monitor had a frozen image.
    I initially pulled all peripherals out and pulled the power plug for 5 minutes. I have left the peripherals out and pulled the second monitor as well. I tried pulling the power plug during a few more starts but nothing gets me to a complete start up screen.
    I have tried resetting PRAM and VRAM and tried a safe boot. I tried booting from Snow Leopard and my Leopard disk stayed on either a blue or gray screen with spinning beach ball (on gray screen).
    Put original install disk in and booted from using D to check the hardware. Good news is that the hardware test was OK. I did the extended test.
    All different kind of start up problems.
    - Some start with start up sound goes to Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with beachball
    - Some start ups with no initial sound then Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with no cursor or beachball
    - Some start ups with no sound to gray screen to blue screen to grey screen.
    I have no problem wiping the HD1 again but I can't even get the OS disk to be recognized with holding the C key during start up. This last time it went to a blue screen (holding the C key) and a cursor.
    I don't know what else to do - Please help!!!

    There are lists (MacIntouch and MacFixit) of hardware / software support issues with 10.6. Accelerateyourmac is another place to watch.
    There were some really long threads back in Sept about printer driver support.
    The 7300 firmware was more about Windows support; those cards are failing and dropping like flies (how DO they know 3 yrs has expired anyway?) and they don't support SL features like OpenCL etc so I'd invest in ATI 4870, best graphic card and works in all models Mac Pro.
    Lots and lots of bootable clones for backup. Never need to wipe and install again.

  • A fix for screensavers that don't work with Snow Leopard?

    is there a fix for the screensavers that no longer work with Snow Leopard? some of the developers have came out with new versions, but a few of them have been abandoned by their authors. Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?

    Is there a way to run those screensavers in 32 bit mode?
    Not without action by the original authors, sorry.
    I know it doesn't help right now, but like all other OSs in the past, these types of things need to catch up since the bar has been raised once again...give it time and there will tons of entertaining s'savers out to pick from.

  • How can export on CD or DVD only edited photo in iPhoto

    How can I export on disk (CD or DVD) only edited photos in iPhoto11? When I going to Share-Burn, all masters, edited, thumbnails etc. was exported what makes big mess if I going to print some of them.

    The Share  ==> burn command makes a mini iphoto library for use by iPhoto which includes multiple versions for the photos - for other uses export the photos to a desktop folder and burn that folder to CD/DVD

  • Since updating AOL iPhoto no longer will email photos with AOL.

    I recently updated my AOL to 10.3.7 Since that time the AOL icon has disappeared from the bottom of the iPhoto screen and the only options I have to email photos are through MacMail or Entourage. AOL and Eudora are both grayed out in the Preferences. AOL says it is not their problem. I think something needs to be changed in iPhoto Preferences but I can't figure out how when AOL is no longer a choice. What would cause the AOL logo to disappear and be replaced by MacMail? How do I fix it? Thanks to anyone who can help me. Linda Cooper

    I was able to rename America Online to AOL and successfully switch the email photo function in iPhoto to use AOL, but now every time (and I mean EVERY) time I go to email a photo, iPhoto asks me where AOL is..... this is a bit tedious. Any idea how to solve this once and for all? Will iPhoto 6 solve this?
